NITED STATES JOHN MATZINGER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HAIR-FRIZZLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,184, dated July 28, 1885.

Application filed April 1, 1885. (No model.)

T0 00% whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN MATZINGER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in I-Iair-Frizzlers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved device for frizzling the hair of women and children,to be used in the place of the common curling-papers; and the invention consists of a hairfrizzling device composed of a tubular pieee,aronnd which the hair is wound, asemicircular retaining-piece pivoted to the main piece,and a flexible wire that is passed through the tubular piece and made long enough that the ends can be bent back over the hair to retain it in the frizzling device.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of one of my improved hair-frizzlers, shown as applied to the hair. Fig. 2 is aside View of the same in extended form, and Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on a larger scale.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

A in the drawings represents a short tube, which is made of cane-wood or other suitable material. Through the tube A is passed a flexible piece of wire, B, that is extended to some distance beyond each end of the tube, and preferably formed of several thin wires which are covered with rubber or braided with cotton. A semicircular retaining-piece, O, of metal, is pivoted to one end of the tube A and adapted to fit to the same.

The ends of the hair to befrizzled are placed between the tube Aand. the retaining-piece C, after which the hairis wound around thetube and retainingpiece, and finally held in position by the ends of the flexible wire B, which are bent toward each other and over the hair, as shown in Fig. 1. WVhen the frizzling device has been on the hair for some time, the ends of the wire B are bent back into extended position, so that the hair can be unwound and detached from the frizzler.

The device is cheap and simple, and can be used with great convenience, besides being neater and more durable than the curling-papers in use heretofore.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A hair-frizzler composed of 'a short tube, a semicircular retaining piece pivoted to the tube, and a flexible wire passing through the tube and extending beyond the ends of the same, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

, JOHN MATZINGER.
